Premiere fills Landmark, Thompson LES to the limits

After the recent premiere of Jim Jarmusch’s new film, “The Limits of Control” — which filled two theaters at the Landmark Sunshine on East Houston St. — the cast and friends reconvened at the Thompson LES hotel on Orchard St., packing the main floor for an after party. Clockwise from above left: Bill Murray; writer/director Jarmusch, left, with his brother Tom, also an avant-garde filmmaker; Billy Leroy of Billy’s Antiques & Props on the Bowery with John Hurt; Jarmusch with Paz de la Huerta. Murray, Hurt and de la Huerta — who got her start as a youngster at the Soho Children’s Acting Studio — all star in the film.
